Publication details: College Station, TX The Texas A&M University System. Texas Transportation Institute. Texas Department of Transportation. Research and Technology Implementation Office, 2009Description: 52 sSubject(s): Online resources: Abstract: A new flexible bridge rail system, referred to as the T8 rail, was designed as a replacement for the T6 rail in high speed applications on culverts and thin deck structures. The T8 rail failed a crash test when the break-away posts failed the thin deck to which it was attached rather than breakaway as designed. After analysis of the test results, the system was modified in an effort to adress the identified failure mechanism.No physical items for this record
